the tablet is rooted, but the bootloader isn't unlocked? is it import which method i use to unlock the bootloader? there is a how to in cyanogenmod-wiki.

Hi,
- if you want to stay on stock rom/stock kernel with locked bootloader, you can install this dual recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606 --> the philz touch recovery is working well on my SGP312 running 10.3.1.C.0136
On Unlock Bootloader ( backup your TA partitions before unlocking in case you want to relock bootloader one day, then unlock your tab with sony tool)
- if you want to stay on stock kernel with unlocked bootloader, you should install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433466
- if you want to install rom with non stock kernel (CM ...), you need to flash boot.img from cm10 zip (fastboot flash boot boot.img) : recovery is included in it because XTZ doesn't have recovery partiton
is there any advantage using an unlocked bootloader? something i can't do with a locked bootloader?

for that i have to install "fastboot", this means to tool "minimal adb and fastboot" or is there a other tool i can do the same?
ok, i installed the dual recovery on my unlocked bootloader, it seams all worked fine. but how can i start the recovery? is there an app (i couldn't find any nerw app) or must i boot the tablet into the recovery?

Hi for the dual recovery, press volume UP at boot to access CWM recovery or volume down to access TWRP recovery.
U can too install xposed framework and this module (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2411887) to add 4 way reboot to the stock rom, when you select reboot to recovery you will acess CWM recovery after reboot
i booted into twrp recovery, but now the screen is locked and i can't unlock. there is no reaction (keys or touch).

yes, it's an update package of the dual recovery so you have to update it from cwm recovery

Hello Friends,
I have got twrp and cwm recovery installed in my phone.When i start my phone in recovery it runs in cwm recovery and when i reboot my phone iit runs twrp instead of my rom.I tried wiping the data through cwm recovery, but with no success.I have got stock jb installed on my phone. Please help.
You saying that phone cant boot ? Try to flash again the recovery you want (Flash the right recovery! For Hboot 1.24 flash ics, for 1.25 flash jb) then go to recovery) Or just flash the stock recovery ? You can find it in the forum.

Sounds to me like you flashed JB recovery on ICS hboot.

You installed twrp to boot partition, that's why it boots directly into twrp (using fastboot flash boot twrp.img) You need to flash TWRP to recovery partition (using fastboot flash recovery twrp.img). Then enter recovery, install ROM, and flash boot image to boot partition (fastboot flash boot boot.img).

i have attached a photo of my problem
sorry for bad english
1) Completely and utterly wrong section, this is Original Development. This is a question, it belongs in the Q&A.
2) You cannot use current root exploits to root lollipop. You either have to downgrade to kitkat, root that, flash locked bootloader recovery, and then install a pre-rooted ROM through recovery. Or you can unlock your bootloader, flash a custom kernel with Recovery, flash the SU zip in recovery and then you're good to go. Be warned that you WILL void your warranty if you unlock your bootloader, you will also lose your DRM keys and some functions (although lost functions are debatable). The first method (downgrade) is preferable.

You have to flash a custom kernel what has a recovery in. For example, AndroPlus v50+. And you do realise that now you have voided your warranty and lost your DRM keys? I did explain that in my other post.

If your drm-keys are intact, your bootloader probably isn't unlocked.
You may check if you go to caller app, push *#*#7378423#*#*-service info-configuration. what is written under rooting status?

Well my friend, then you should be good to go download kernel with recovery.
unpack kernel zip and find the boot.img
Use flashtool, connect your device in fastboot mode.
under flash symbol, select fastboot mode. Then choose: select kernel to flash.
select boot.img wich you just unpacked.... done

You can use an app called "root check" to verify root.

You should probably use a kernel for 690 firmware if you are on lollipop rom. andopluskernel works great. also with twrp. use v50 or higher.
Hello guys. I unlocked the bootloader via adb (fastboot oem unlock) and flashed the cyanogenmod Recovery and after that i flashed Cyanogemod 13 (the official nightly).
Then I relocked the bootloader (fastboot oem lock)
Until here everything is fine. The problem is: After that I use my phone with CM13 normally, but I wanted to go back to stock, so I turn on developer options then i turned on the OEM unlocking thing, and usb debuging. And when i entered in fastboot mode to unlock the bootloader again i wrote via adb fastboot oem unlock the phone rebbot and now i am stucked on cyanogenmode recovery with the bootloader locked.
Another thing: if i flash the cyanogen 13 again the phone will allways reboot to recovery.

Never lock bootloader unless you are on stock ROM (oos). Now you need to unlock bootloader.For that you need stock ROM and stock recovery. Are you able to boot to any ROM,cm 13?
@ateresabelo maybe you have to flash stock Rom. Hopefully then it will allow you to unlock bootloader. Best of luck mate.

Thanks for the reply.
I can flash CM 13 ROM with cyanogenmod Recovery, but when the flash finish, when I reboot, the phone boot into recovery mode, and not boot into the ROM. So it flash the ROM without errors but boot into the Recovery again.

Flash stock ROM. Download it from oneplus website. And use TWRP recovery instead. Cwm is kind of obsolete and i m not sure if it works perfectly.

The thing is the recovery that i have is not CWM is the cyanogenmod Recovery (with oem locked). I only can boot into CM 13 ROM if i go to the fastboot mode and then type: fastboot continue. If I do that I can use the phone with CM 13.
But when I reboot my phone from the ROM it come back to the cyanogen Recovery and not boot to the CM 13 ROM. And I have to repeat the process: Go to fastboot and type fastboot continue in order to boot on my ROM.
So is any way to unlock the bootloader, like fastboot oem unlock (with the cyanogenmod Recovery instaled) in order to flash the OPX stock recovery or the TWRP recovery?

Just another question: for that task (flash the OPX stock recovery do I need root access?) I am asking this because I do not have the SUperSu installed. So maybe I need to use the cyanogenmod Recovery to flash the SuperSU and hope it works and then use flashify, right?

Just the last question, If I flash the stock recovery with the bootloader locked, does it will hardbrick or softbrick my phone? I just ask that, not because I dont trust you, because I trust, but because I read that is not a good ideia flash recoverys or roms with the bootloader locked.

Just look at ROM section and decide, Its raining ROMs for oneplus x. ROMs( like zephyr, orion, ownROM etc) compiled with UBER toolchain are smoother, so you may wanna try them to get awed.

Don't use install img option on twrp it may not work always
Instead of that you can flash recovery using fastboot with "fastboot flash recovery (the name of recovery).img) command

Note that the Z2, like most other Sony devices does not have a proper bootable recovery. As such you have to install a kernel that includes a recovery with it. For a time I will try to continue to supply updated stock kernels repacked with TWRP in them. If you are running one of my kernels or have a custom ROM like OmniROM installed, you can install TWRP in the FOTAKernel partition to stay on the latest version of TWRP.

Mirror 1
Mirror 2
To install a stock kernel, boot the device into fastboot mode and then from your computer: fastboot flash boot path/to/filename.img

However is it true? With latest updates there was bootloader update which brings (or at least should as Sony said) /recovery partition (or more gives access to it, coz partitions was probably always there).
However how it exactly works? I always thought that onee flashed update with newest bootloader will leave new bootloader and this partition forever. But I got Z2 with .291, downgraded it to 4.4.2 for Root and TA backup and than tried to flash recovery to recovery partition, but got error: FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error)).
Does it mean that only on latest update(s) there is possibility to use this partition?
Never tried it on my ZU before. I just started form latest 5.1.1.
EDIT: OK, so what i assumed was right - on 6.0.1 I was able to flash the recovery to it's partition.
Now the problem is with booting into it. How? With Power + Vol- it still stright to boots to OS...
EDIT2: adb reboot recovery boots to different bootloader screen (Power+Vol- gives SONY screen and adb gives SONY + XPERIA screen.
However it still boots strght to Android...
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I have 23.5.A.1.291 + unlocked bootloader + TWRP 3.0.2-0 (official) flashed with fastboot flash recovery img.
I'm 100% sure that SONY screen (w/o XPERIA) is the right one as I have identical one on my ZU when booting into bootloader-recovery mode. But why here it don't boot TWRP, but OS?
HELPPPP
Pleaseeeee tell me how did you flash twrp 3.0? I have tried almost everything it now seems impossible for me... Pleaseee helpp me T_T ... Thankk youuu
Hello
I recently bought a new device (lollipop version) and I've rooted it successfully so I decided to flash a custom recovery because I want to back up my OS before I start flashing xposed framework.
So I searched the net for a custom recovery for my device (Infinix hot 3 x554) and I found one, then I flashed the custom recovery using mobileuncle root and I reboot into recovery and nothing changed my stock recovery was still there, then after booting my device I flashed the custom recovery again using flashify and I reboot into recovery my phone just booted normally instead if taking me to recovery mode, now my stock recovery isn't there anymore, please I need assistant on how to fix this.
My device: Infinix Hot 3 x554
Version: 5.1
Kernel Version: 3.10.72+
Build Number: x554-W90918-A2-L-20160607
I used kingroot to root the device.
Thank you
It seems your recovery partition restores itself or there are specific scripts in your boot.img which restores stock recovery when detects modified recovery. You must install it via fastboot.
Obtain fastboot and run this command (You can have it with Android SDK or you can find it in Google too.).
Code:
fastboot flash recovery *filename*.img
But you have to be sure you have proper drivers for your device.
Okay, but I did some little research about how to flash recovery and I saw something about unlocking bootloader, so could it be because I haven't unlocked my bootloader that's why it didn't work?

Yes. You need to unlock bootloader before flashing custom recovery. Locked bootloader prevents modify stock partition.

So after I unlock the bootloader, should I use flashify to flash the custom recovery or I should just use PC to flash it
